So after using Odin to go back to stock, you didn't install any cpu control apps? Are you restoring apps/app data? Where are you at right now in terms of rom, kernel, cpu control apps?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ohshootrawr:
I tried installing a few but never more than one at a time. I've so far tried kernel tuner, setcpu and system tuner. system tuner seemed to work for a bit over 24 hours, then the frequencies locked at max in the middle of the day. I'm not restoring any apps because the rom restores them faster than titanium backup anyway. right now, Im in recovery because my phone's cpu got too hot (got locked at 1800mhz)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Try this.. uninstall all cpu control apps. Wipe cache & dalvik cache in recovery.. Install setcpu, set your frequencies, select apply on reboot, then reboot and see where you are at.

If that doesn't work.. uninstall the cpu control app again, re-flash the stock kernel (wipe both caches again) in recovery, once booted back up, install setcpu again then do the rest like I explained above.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ohshootrawr:
That was actually the first thing i tried. I have some experience in flashing, but I have no idea what might have caused my cpu to get this way. Although i did notice this happened after I tried out an aokp rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Yeah, you're doing something wrong. You said that you used Odin to get back to stock, and it was still stuck. Stock max frequency is 1512mhz, so you're saying that regardless of wiping, using Odin, flashing new kernels, etc., your phone is always stuck on max frequency?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ohshootrawr:
That I am. But yeah, essentially. its not really STUCK at max, its kind of just fluctuating between all the frequencies but it stays on max the MOST. This happens even when I set the max frequency lower though (i.e. set max freq. is 910, cpu spy says the phone has been on 1850 during idle).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
When you're using ondemand governor, you will mostly see your max frequency and deep sleep being used. Start over with flashing a new kernel and following the instructions I wrote above. There's really not much more you can do. Frequencies can be picky when going between cpu apps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ohshootrawr:
This has actually been happening on every governor and scheduler I've tried ._. BUT HEY, I'm hopeful. Gonna try it now, *crosses fingers*
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sky14:
any one have any info on device missing ids

ive tried all all possibilities from the threads i found by searching and no dicee
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ohshootrawr:
PROGRESS! I found that the frequencies stick as long as the cpu app stays in the phones memory. Also, I can use ondemand without the frequencies getting stuck at max. However, I can't use the other governors. Any ideas on how to kick this in the butt once and for all?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Have you updated superSU then opened the app and updated the binaries? I was having issues with my max frequency sticking before doing so. I don't think it was granting root permissions properly before.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ViciousLSD:
My s3 won't charge anymore. I tried restarting and even switched batteries.. I plug the charger in and it charges for a few seconds and doesn't charge after that... Any ideas?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
1. Try a different cable

2. Factory reset

What rom are you using?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sky14:
i flashed wicked v6 and now my computer wont read my phone

i get mtp error and missing hardware id

ive tired old drivers new drivers, uninstalled wmp reinstalled it,installed new and old versions of kies still no dice

any thing else i could try guys?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Uninstall Kies and the drivers you have installed. Then install the drivers from my signature.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sky14:
okay thank you bro

ill give it a shot now

---------- Post added at 01:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

still nothing -__-

everything installs but the MTP
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ohshootrawr:
I fixed most of the problems actually, thanks :3 I moved supersu to /system/app so its granting root permissions properly. I was able to set all governors without a hitch after this, but my phone will sometimes change the frequencies. That's the only lingering problem now.

Update through Kies while rooted?

I'm stock firmware(debloated), rooted, with stock recovery. I'd like to apply the newest update, but can't OTA because of 'modified' status. Is it possible to successfully update through Kies while rooted and debloated? What's the best way to accomplish updating while rooted and debloated?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Easiest way would be to flash the latest root66 file in Odin. You can find it in the dev section.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Oscar_619:
Um my phone data is not mounting.

Everytime i try to flash something it skips over the data?

btw my phone is being retarded (stuck in loop, recovery and download works though?)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ...Awesome...:
Its corrupted your gonna have to format your phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AnvilVapor:
So there are no other options to apply that update without re-flashing root66?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eggydrums:
Hey how long does it usually last for Odin to flash a firmware?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DigitalUnderground:
Very quickly... Less than a minute...

I prefer mobile Odin pro myself... But have used Odin a couple of times. Sometimes after flashing I have to pull the battery and then reboot for it to work
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eggydrums:
Well I began flashing root66 uvdlja firmware and it still hasn't finished! It says its flashing system. BTW I'm on PC odin

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

Its all too now :D just closed odin, and flashed again. It was very quickly lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Civil Disobedient:
I am at a loss, and seek any help you can offer. I recently got a brand new grey sgs3 from tmob. previously had a white one that i bought off craigslist and got the IMEI blocked on me; didn't realize that was something tmob could do. but i digress.

flashed root66 via Odin straight away. udvjla as thats what my phone came with. cwm recovery then vanilla rootbox and gapps 121212 camera doesn't work. try re-downloading and flashing many times. camera does not work. phone said "can not access camera" or something similar. searched and searched, only one guy has the problem and hes getting the same answer: re-download and re-flash, and its not working for him either. i emailed him, he responds that flashing inverted gapps worked. i tried it. cannot access camera.

alright, time to odin back to stock. no dice. stuck at samsung boot. i got out of this before on my white sgs3 by flashing stock recovery. did so, re-flashed both root66 and stock and the phone will not boot nor get into recovery, i try using odin for cwm recovery and its never able to finish, it just stops at reset.

a little long, but i wanted to give as much info as i can. luckily i can return this bad boy, but i figure since i have the time i may as well try to learn more. any help is appreciated.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
UVDLJA is 4.1.1, therefore you need Gapps 20121011, not 20121212.

Try using the Odin and CWM links from my signature, see if those work for you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sooperxtool:
Having issues with the new update, 4.1.1

Completely stock, nothing flashed etc etc

Device will reset on its own, typically when using browsers. Switched browser, same issue. Also, the screen will sometimes turn on and stay on until I reset. I've seen a couple posts about the screen problem, but no real answer. I'm starting to wonder if I have a lemon phone? But the reset problem only started after most recent OTA system update.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
There's been a lot of issues with faulty power buttons. This sounds like your issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sooperxtool:
But I didn't have this issue before the new update.... which is what makes me think that has something to do with it. I've had the phone since December, and the update came maybe 2 weeks ago? I can't remember but this wasn't happening before that. Maybe I'll just go into tmo...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Try using Odin to go back to stock, if the issue is still there, it's most likely your power button.

i got tired of Titanium back up. so i tried backing up using twrp and it worked perfect. when i installed a new ROM(Hell-Fire worked perfect)

however, while restoring from twrp, it restored the old rom(DarthStalker)

help

what should i do to restore my apps and data but not the old ROM

thanks

You should use TitaniumBackup for that job. One is a full backup of your system, the other is only a backup of your apps.

4G problem after losing imei

I recently had to restore my imei after losing it doing a simple flash. I used the PeoplesArmy guide but when doing the process to restore 4G I was unsuccessful. I only tried once so I'm wondering if I should try it again or if someone has a proven way to do this. I reverted back to stock but I'm still stuck on edge and it's killing me because I need the I need the internet for my job. Is there any way to check and make sure the imei is still not corrupted. Thanks in advance for any help.

Been having battery issues ever since I flashed a 4.2.2 ROM.. I think its the modem. Being on like over drive, draining my batt.

Or is it 4.2.2? I tried all the 4.2.2 Roms that there is for our phone. And its seems to drain at the same rate every time. I don't know of its just me or can my radio be the cause of it. Or android 4.2.2??

Hell Fire is AOSP based. You need to download the Google apps package from somewhere, such as the OP of that thread, then flash in recovery.

Can't get into recovery mode, can't Odin back to stock, what do I do now?

Ok So, I rooted using CF-auto root, flashed CWM via ROM manager, flashed CyanogenMod 10.0.0, accepted and installed update to CM 10.0.2, flashed Gapps, then the new CM 10.0.2 wouldn't load correctly. Gapps kept rapidly force closing on me. So I tried reflashing CM 10.0.0, but didn't go smoothly. I ended up trying to Odin back to stock, after Odin said all threads completed (1 successful, 0 failed), but it boots up to the Samsung logo and then gets stuck. I've tried several times. I would try to do a factory reset, but vol up + home + power now responds by vibrating until I let go at which point it boots up to the Samsung logo again. I tried flashing TWRP to gain recovery access, but to no avail. What do I do now? Please help? :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
I've been having this issue for quite some time now where my 3g/4g data appears to look like it's working fine but once you actually try and load something (Play Store, apps, browser, etc), data constantly gets stuck and it remains on the loading screen for a long period of time. It always appears to be transferring data but it's just not happening. I wait in hopes for the app or page to load up but eventually it just fails. I've tried just about every troubleshooting step and the only temporary solution I've come across is rebooting the phone but eventually my data issues continue. I've even tried every single radio but the issue progresses. Why is this constantly happening? If anyone knows of a possible data fix solution please help me out. I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Let go of power button after the vibration, but keep the other two depressed.

Anyhow the problem you had with CM was you need a different version of gapps for 10.1. Don't get an old version and update it... just get the new version to begin with.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sem4life63:
henbyMa which

Ok, got it back to stock! Thank you for the help! So, I'm going to reflash everything except the current Gapps. I'm going to look for Gapps for CM 10.0.2 like you said. Thanks again! :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
There is no CM 10.0.2. It's 10.0 or 10.1. And they require different Gapps. Get 10.1 (the newest nightlies) and Gapps 20121212.

Hi, I just rooted and flashed a custom ROM for the first time last night (Dandroid v2.6, which is really nice) and I left it on overnight with a white noise app that I use for sleeping (with the app set off in 2 hours, screen is obviously turned off). On stock TW, I'd probably only drain about 1-2% doing this, but I woke up this morning and found that my battery level went down from 100% to 83%! Should I have drained the battery or something? I hate to sound like I noob, but I don't know what I'm doing and I looked through the ROM thread and nobody had a similar problem to mine after a few pages of looking.

You might want to toggle off your mobile data when you don't use your phone. Same with the wifi. Simple. You can do both via the toggles in the dropdown. They come back on quickly if you toggle them on.

Complete Rooting Proceedure - first time

Hello... A friend and I are trying to perform the rooting proceedure for the SGH-T999

Samsung Galaxy S3 T-Mobile version. We came accross the following guide which we followed to

perform this proceedure:

http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-sgh-t999-t-mobile-easy-root-99302/

Unfortunately after performing the proceedure a few times, and installing CWM-SuperUser-

v3.0.7.zip... with ClockWorkMod Touch Recovery (note we used Odin, the GUI application on

Windows) to flash the clockworkmod recovery image, it worked successfully. Please note, as

well that this is the first time that we do rooting or flashing with any phones ourselves,

so we really have no prior experience. And one last note to add... we noticed a slight

difference in the directions for odin on the following page:

http://theunlockr.com/2012/07/15/how-to-root-t-mobile-and-sprint-samsung-galaxy-s3/

it says to uncheck 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' should be checked in Odin (Windows GUI

app), in the escond link.

I can't remember exactly when, but in a part of the proceedure, in order to reboot, we ended

up removing the battery for a few seconds, then booting again and following the

instructions.

After going through all of this, we were able to access Clockworkmod touch recovery.

I read about the [SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V7.0] if we would have known about it

previously, then that is what we should have used for rooting the phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746680&page=2

I learned about the Toolkit at this URL, here on the XDA Developers forum, for the Galaxy

S3... It said on this thread, on the page included in the link below, that CWM-

SuperUserv3.0.7.zip file had a problem from the toolkit and it recommended to use the

updated file included in the download link. Not sure what instructions to use, though, to do

this, or where to look?

At the moment, the phone shows with Root Checker that the phone is not rooted, and BusyBox

shows an error message that 'there was a problem opening a shell with root access. This is

either being caused by superuser/supersu or a device that is improperly rooted.'

At this point I would like to ask what can be done to correctly root the Galaxy S3 SGH-T999?

... Considering the steps we have already taken?

Kies will not connect with 4.1.2 or higher

Title says it all.

Decided to go from Frosty 11.6 and try some of the 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 roms to see how they felt.

Doesn't matter what I try, the only version of JB that Kies will actually "see" is 4.1.1

Even the STOCK t-mobile 4.1.2 (uvdmd5) will not communicate. PC see's it and I get access to the sd card and internal mem, made sure all was configured exactly as with 4.1.1, uninstalled kies and the drivers, installed drivers, installed kies, declined the update, and still nothing.

It comes up with connecting, and has SGH-T999, then times out. Tried connectivity troubleshooter, no help. NEW MicroUSB cable from T-Mobile, no help...

USB debug enabled with all etc...

I go back to ANY 4.1.1 ROM and it connects just fine

Any Ideas??

Imei/network/wifi/sd card problems :/

So i just went on a trip for about 4 days. On departure, i was connected perfectly well on my usual wind network, and data lasted until i was well away from every cell tower in the area. Wifi was working fine in the house, and the hotel. As well as my sd card, which was easily being read from, and i had no trouble playing movies from it either. On the drive back, the first thing that started acting weird was the sd. It wouldnt recognize it even though it was plugged in, every once in a while, it would, and it would say i had only 800 mb's or so left. While it was a 32 gb drive, and i had only used 16gb of it. I turned off my phone, removed the sd card, then turned it back on, and then plugged it back in. And it worked fine for a while. So i transferred all the data from the sd card onto my computer and then in about an hour, it stopped working again. Not only that though,i noticed that it would take forever to turn wifi on, and sometimes it wouldn't even work. And finally when i came in range of my usual cell towers, i did not recieve any connection at all. I checked the status of the phone, and no network was found, the imei was 0, and it would not load the cell broadcasts page on my settings. After ariving at home, i turned the wifi back on, and after a while, i connected, and updated to the newest version of cyanogenmod. The 10.1.0 stable release. And i still got these aforementioned problems. This is really scaring me, especially since i have no warranty, and it has lasted this long so far. Plus it is a hell of an expensive phone. I would really really appreciate all the help i could get. And im sorry if it's a really stupid answer. Thanks so much.

And for details:

Rom: Cyanogenmod d2tmo(though i am on wind) 10.1.0

kernel: Default kernel, haven't messed with that

I have both llama and tasker uninstalled atm, just to see if that is the problem. The sim is still inside, as well as the sd. Thanks agan.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Had you flashed anything shortly before all this started happening? It mostly sounds like the sdcard is dying. Youll probably need to replace that. Never heard of it causing imei loss though ( this will be the cause of your network problems) there are a few recent threads discussing how to restore your imei. Ill find and post a link when I get in on my computer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shadow456732:
I hadn't flashed anything at all for at least a week. Though i also did not use the sd too frequently either, so i may not have noticed. I usually updated to the most recent nightlies for my phone, but i had kept it on the latest snapshot for this entire time until the stable version was released. Which i updated too when i came back. As for restoring the imei, i have searched around xda, but i can't seem to find a proper step by step way to do this. I have made a backup from a few months ago when my phone was being fine, so i was thinking i could backup my current state, and then restore to the old one, then flash the current one again. Not sure if that will work though

EDIT: It is currently stuck on roaming, everything to do with the networks is fine except for the imei which is still remaining at 0. I also cannot search for networks. As for the s d it seems to be working fine. Though when i try to turn on wifi, it says it's turning on for about 10 seconds, and then it stops.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kcmastrpc:
your imei was trashed. this happens (alot). if you backed up using reboot nvbackup, you can restore using reboot nvrestore.

otherwise, you'll need to inject your IMEI with nv_read/writer, and then write some other stuff in there which will vary based on your phones model. the nv_reader/writer is available - but the tool to generate the other stuff is not.

there is a custom NV items for the T999 at the bottom of the first page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2343305

to inject an IMEI into your phone check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AlQmfMJBK0
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shadow456732:
So is there a way for me to get my imei back then? Can i call wind and ask them for whatever is necessary? Or must i generate a new one? Also, do i lose data, because i've heard this happens as well. I'm freaking out :0 Thank you for the response btw
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kcmastrpc:
I don't know about wind, and I'm not sure if that custom nvitems will work for you. You can always back up your phones nvitems with the nvitems reader/writer before doing anything - just in case.

You're not really generating a new IMEI, you're just taking the IMEI from the back of your phone and generating new hex keys, which you inject into the nvram using the aforementioned application.
